On the run from his old-blood werewolf family, Tim Dirus finds himself in Wolf's Paw, one of the last surviving refuges from the days when werewolves were hunted by humans and one of the last places Tim wants to be. Kept away from other wolves by his uncle, Tim knows almost nothing about his own kind except that alpha werewolves only want to control and dominate a scrawny wolf like him.

Tim isn’t in Wolf’s Paw an hour before he draws the attention of Sheriff Nathaniel Neri, the alphaest alpha in a town full of alphas. Powerful, intimidating, and the most beautiful wolf Tim has ever seen, Nathaniel makes Tim feel safe for reasons Tim doesn’t understand. For five years he’s lived on the run, in fear of his family and other wolves. Everything about Wolf’s Paw is contrary to what he thought he knew, and he is terrified. Fearing his mate will run, Sheriff Nathaniel must calm his little wolf and show him he’s more than a match for this big, bad alpha.

This was an adorable book with fun and engaging character and a lot of originality. I generally like the idea of werewolf romance better then the execution because so many writers just rehash the same emotional and narrative beats over and over again. In the past few years I'd felt the genre had gone rather stale.
Not this book, it's got a different look on how werewolf instinct might intersect with love. First there is Tim who is by turn scared, angry, and confused by his own instinctual response to the sheriff in town. And there's Nathaniel who constantly denies his own instinct so that he might instead do what is truly best for the man he hopes will be his mate.
Between them they struggle to find balance and overcome meddling towns folk, controlling relatives, and their own past. It's a great read with compelling characters and an interesting premise.
